Ethereal Architecture

Sunday I drove to where there was an outdoor classic car show, only to find that I had missed the show by one day.  While driving back home I became stuck by the urban landscape that blurred past me.  I became aware of some of the shapes and abstract faces of buildings I was driving past.  So, having failed at my original objective I decided to concentrate on a new subject –urban architecture.

Stopping at an office-building complex I became aware that I was not just looking at buildings with doors, stairways and glass – but a collection of individual parts that made up the complete structure.  I started to focus in on sections and the abstract forms these architectural designs offered my eyes.  This post is my interpretation of the rhythm and flowing lines and shapes of this architecture in black and white with an ethereal look.

Natural Shapes

The twisting, turning, intersecting lines and light in nature has always made me want to pickup the camera and attempt to capture this strange beauty or at least what I find beautiful.  This post is a collection of recent images from the curved lines you find inside an artichoke as apposed to the intersecting lines in an agave leaves to dried pieces of desert debris.  Photography is not just portraits and landscape images – but it can be a closer observation of the small and simple objects we may encounter on daily travels.  Photography is about learning to see again.

 

CHAIRS PART 2 -WHITE PLASTIC

White Plastic Chairs   - those plastic lawn chairs that seem to lurk around every corner and seem to be indestructible.  They have a glow about them no matter what landscape you find them in.  Long after this civilization has disappeared these white plastic chairs will be our archeological signatures.  I find my image files seem to have a collection of them lurking throughout various photo pojects– so this is the white plastic part of my chair project.

The Chair

Everyone feels safe, comfortable and happy when sitting in his or her favorite chair.  So sit down visually in one of my many photographs of chairs that I have come across on my many trips around town.  This post is Chairs, all shapes and sizes – hope you find them visually comfortable.

THE STAIRS

Stairs consisting of steps that form shadows and lines that direct the eye to a place above or below – a destination that is just beyond the eyes view.  My photographs of stairs are the subjects of this post.  Again it is the lines ascending and descending that create a graphical composition in black and white that has attracted me to this subject.
